Hi, I'd like to present to you this string quartett in C Major, which I wrote many years ago on the base of Beethoven's very last sketches for a planned string quintett. The Introduction by 95% is Beethoven, also the main theme and the theme at 2:34, the rest is mine. This old GPO recording I can't bear anymore since I did the same now with NotePerformer which I think is so much better:

II. Second movement (Andante cantabile) with variations on the short sketch from Beethoven for this work:

III. Scherzo Presto
And here now I finshed a fiery Scherzo (Presto) in c-minor for the string quartett, again based on an unusual motif sketch (with his "Fate-motif in the bass) by Beethoven - his last sketched Scherzo idea before he died ...

IV. Allegro vivacce
For me the climax of the work, based on a most friendly and vivid theme by Beethoven which is somewhat familiar to the Rondo theme from the quartett op. 130, but which I adore even more.

What do you think?
